winnt.exe -
The Winnt.exe file is for DOS. File winnt.exe is located in the folder C:\Windows\System32. Known file sizes on Windows XP are 529,920 bytes (50% of all occurrence), 31,508 bytes.
There is no file information. The program is not visible. winnt.exe is located in the Windows folder, but it is not a Windows core file. File winnt.exe is not a Windows system file. The application listens for or sends data on open ports to LAN or Internet. winnt.exe is able to monitor applications, hide itself. Therefore the technical security rating is 95% dangerous
winnt32.exe -
Winnet32.exe is a mass-mailing worm W32.Mytob.BN@mm. Winnet32.exe tries to terminate antiviral programs installed on a user computer. Winnet32.exe spreads by exploiting the Microsoft Windows DCOM RPC Interface Buffer Overrun Vulnerability and the Microsoft Windows Local Security Authority Service Remote Buffer Overflow.
Command line Switches for WINNT.EXE
/a - Enables accessibility options. This option is not recommended for most users
/e:command - Specifies a command that is to be executed at the end of GUI-mode Setup. Commonly used to launch automated application setup routines to complete the installation
/i:inffile - Specifies the file name of the setup information file. By default, this is Dosnet.inf. This option is not recommended
/r:folder - Specifies that a folder is created during setup. The folder remains after Setup finishes.
/rx:folder - Copies a folder you create into the system folder. This option is generally used to copy drivers that are not part of the standard Windows 2000 distribution, and can be used multiple times to copy multiple folders The folder is deleted after Setup finishes
/s:sourcepath - Specifies the location of the Windows 2000 source files. The location must be a full path of the form w:\[path] or \\server\share[\path] This option is required only if the files are not located in the current folder.
/t:tempdrive - Specifies which partition setup will use to store temporary files. This option is not recommended. If you do not specify a location, Setup attempts to locate a drive for you.
/u:answer file - Performs an unattended Setup using an answer file. Answer files are used to bypass the interactive questions asked of the user during setup and can even be used to automate the setup process completely. You must also use /s. with this switch
/udf:id [,UDB_file] - Indicates an identifier (id) that Setup uses to specify how a Uniqueness Database (UDB) file modifies an answer file (see /u). The /udf parameter overrides values in the answer file, and the identifier determines which values in the UDB file are used. If no UDB_file is specified, Setup prompts you to insert a disk that contains the $Unique$.udb file.
Command line Switches for WINNT32.EXE - Used when upgrading from a 32bit OS (Win9x, WinNT)
/checkupgradeonly - Checks the target machine for upgrade compatibility with Windows 2000. For Windows 95 or Windows 98 upgrades, Setup creates a report named Upgrade.txt in the Windows installation folder. For Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0 upgrades, it saves the report to the Winnt32.log in the installation folder.
/cmd:command_line - Allows you to specify a command before the final phase of Setup. This would occur after your computer has restarted twice and after Setup has collected the necessary configuration information, but before Setup is complete.
/cmdcons - Adds to the operating system selection screen a Recovery Console option for repairing a failed installation. It is only used post-Setup.
/copydir:folder_name - Creates an additional folder within the folder in which the Windows 2000 files are installed. You can use /copydir to create as many additional folders as you want.
/copysource:folder_name - Creates a temporary additional folder within the folder in which the Windows 2000 files are installed. Unlike the folders /copydir creates, /copysource folders are deleted after Setup completes.
/debug[level]:[filename] - Creates a debug log at the level specified. The default log file is C:\%Windir%\Winnt32.log, with the debug level set to 2. The log levels are as follows: 0-severe errors, 1-errors, 2-warnings, 3-information, and 4-detailed information for debugging. Each level includes the levels below it.
/m:folder_name - Specifies that Setup copies replacement files from an alternate location. Instructs Setup to look in the alternate location first and if files are present, use them instead of the files from the default location.
/makelocalsource - Copies all installation source files to your local hard disk. Use /makelocalsource when installing from a CD to provide installation files when the CD is not available later in the installation.
/noreboot Instructs Setup to not restart the computer after the file copy phase of winnt32 is completed so that you can execute another command.
/s:sourcepath - Specifies the source location of the Windows 2000 files. To simultaneously copy files from multiple servers, specify multiple /s sources. If you use multiple /s switches, the first specified server must be available or Setup will fail.
/tempdrive:drive_letter - Directs Setup to place temporary files on the specified partition and to install Windows 2000 on that partition.
/unattend - Upgrades your previous version of Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 3.51, Windows 95, or Windows 98 in unattended Setup mode. All user settings are taken from the previous installation, so no user intervention is required during Setup.
/unattend[num]:[answer_file] - Performs a fresh installation in unattended Setup mode. The answer file provides Setup with your custom specifications.Num is the number of seconds between the time that Setup finishes copying the files and when it restarts your computer. Answer_file is the name of the answer file.
/udf:id[,UDB_file] - Indicates an identifier (id) that Setup uses to specify how a Uniqueness Database (UDB) file modifies an answer file (see /u). The /udf parameter overrides values in the answer file, and the identifier determines which values in the UDB file are used. If no UDB_file is specified, Setup prompts you to insert a disk that contains the $Unique$.udb file.
